First Reading Ordinances
1. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3032-2019
An Ordinance amending Chapter 3, “ADVERTISING AND SIGNS,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Section 3-2108, “SIGNS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY,” by amending subsection (3) and enacting one new subsection (4); and amending Chapter 2, “ADMINISTRATION,” Table 2-6110.1 of Section 2-6110, “JURISDICTION; SCHEDULE OF PENALTIES,” by adding a penalty provision for Section 3-2108.
Explanation: Section 3-2108 of the Moline Code of Ordinances lists the types of signs that are allowed in the City’s public rights-of-way and provides for removal by the City of those in nonconformance. To further refine the City’s protection of its rights-of-way from nuisances, the City Council wishes to amend Section 3-2108 to place the enforcement of that section within the jurisdiction of the administrative adjudication system (MUNICES). In addition, the amendment to Table 2-6110.1 will add penalty provisions for violations of Section 3-2108 as follows: $50 for first offense, $100 for second offense, $200 for third offense, $400 for fourth offense and each offense thereafter; proven costs of collection and storage by the City, if any, shall also apply to each offense. These fines are in addition to any imposed for violation of Section 3-1102, which pertains to prohibited posting of notices, placards, bills, etc. in certain cases.
